Poetry Challenge Day 21: Fold

Fold

Snowflakes fall
Filling arches in our entryway
From Thanksgiving
Through the end of winter

Each year
New ones appear
Hanging from windows
And doorways
By thin ribbons and tape

There are hundreds now
Some more intricate
Than others
As we try new ways
To fold and cut

Remember when
You made the 6-sided ones
And mine fell apart
Because I cut the wrong side
You showed me how to do it right
But I’ve forgotten

When you come home
Let’s make some more
And create
A snowstorm
For Christmas
